Out There...

I will set up a nonprofit to bring photography to needy children across the globe in attempt to capture our world through their eyes. As I travel, I will seek to capture the essence of their cultures, people, and landscapes.

My dream assignment is directly inspired by the movie, Born Into Brothels and founder of Kids with Cameras, Zana Briski.

I would like to either set up my own nonprofit like Kids with Cameras, or work in conjunction with Kids with Cameras to travel the globe and work with children in need, giving them cameras and showing them the importance of their perspective on life. I would myself be photographing select children from around the globe that participate in the program, their families, cultures, communities. I will seek to capture the essence of their cultures, people, and landscapes.

I'm setting up a similar project in Nepal (www.flickr.com/photos/fair_chance). It's so much fun to do! I also posted my idea, but found out that non-US residents weren't able to compete. Major disappointment.

So now I'll cheer for you instead :D Good luck, and I really hope you make it!
